Even with the capability to purchase new equipment (HU, ATM, should-be Genuine BMW emulator, modules, and all wiring) I still cannot get BMW Assist to allow "expired" VINs into the CD store!

Most of the ball joints I fitted as upgrades in my rear suspension have developed play in less than 20k miles.

I'm replacing an 11 year old TV in my garage with a new one to prepare for the NFL season. I've decided to add a 2nd TV on an adjoining wall so will have two walls with 65 inch TV's on them. I'm conflicted: if i get two of the same TV's there will be issues with one remote changing things on both TV's. But if I get different TV models I might get bothered by them looking different. Life is hard.

After about 4 weeks of Master bath remodel, I got to sleep in my own split king bed last night.

Sharing a twin with wife and dog, in a room with minimal air circulation leaves me exhausted and sweaty.

1st world problems crisis averted! I was able to get 2 TV's that look identical but have different operating systems. One is a Roku TV, and one is a Google TV. Now I am ready for football season!
